Prestige career

I made my choice and entered the Novorossiysk branch of Moscow humanitarian-economic Institute.

It's one of the popular higher educational establishments in our city. During a five year course students are taught economics, law, foreign languages, computers and many other interesting subjects.

Those interested in a career as a lawyer should demonstrate intelligence and high verbal skills in writing, speaking and reading. Potential lawyers should be able to study well and absorb facts and technical information easily.

Lawyers are often required to work extremely hard to establish themselves in the field.

A desire for personal contact with people who need your help might attract you to this profession. I think, to work as a lawyer is not so easy as it may seem at first.

As a lawyer, he would generally use personal capabilities as well as professional techniques.

He has to be a good psychologist in order to communicate with people successfully. He must enjoy working with people. Besides he should be honest, self-motivated and highly disciplined.
